The credential file is accessible I've just repeated the mount in two ways:
First with fstab looking like this: //Server/Share /mnt/Share cifs iocharset=utf8,user,username=dietmarw,password=password,uid=dietmarw,gid=dietmarw,auto 0 0 This works fine. Second with fstab looking like this: //Server/Share /mnt/Share cifs iocharset=utf8,user,credentials=/home/dietmarw/.smb/myacc,uid=dietmarw,gid=dietmarw,auto 0 0 This gives: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc# mount /mnt/ForschungMDT/ mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //130.149.48.9/ForschungMDT, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so So dmesg shows: [18802744.064000] CIFS VFS: No username specified [18802744.064000] CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22 But the credential file is setup conforming to the manual (and worked on breezy as is) and looks like this: username=dietmarw password=password This actually happend to collegue of mine in the exact same way after he had upgraded from breezy to dapper. -- argument "credentials=..." doesn't work any more in fstab https://launchpad.net/bugs/48997 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
